Getting the Word Out About Getting Pregnant
|
Education is essential to being an empowered
fertility patient. It's also important for
you as a consumer. I've recently joined the
Blog World at http://infertilityhouston.blogspot.com/.
For many of our readers, it's hard to imagine
*not* knowing the many places where you can
find the latest information on getting
pregnant. As we discussed in our last
newsletter, a recent survey indicated that
women are still feeling uninformed about
fertility basics. I'm working to bridge that
information gap.

Why A Blog?
Blogs are a convenient way for readers to
keep up with the thoughts and opinions of
people they want to hear from and information
sources they respect.
For the providers of information -- like me
-- blogs provide a way to communicate on a
frequent basis without causing our readers'
email boxes to overflow.

More Than Just Education
This newsletter gives readers a chance to
learn about getting pregnant, fertility
treatment, and related topics on a monthly
basis. Most of the subjects I discuss in the
newsletter are archivable -- meaning the
information is as good in later months as it
is the day its written. In fact, we do
archive all of our previous newsletter issues
at the Houston Infertility Clinic website,
just under the Newsletter
Subscription box. (Feel free to pass
around any of the issues that you see there.)
But with a blog, I can comment on "newsier"
items of interest to my readers, on the spur
of the moment. As we all know, reproductive
medicine is a fast-moving and changing field
of treatment.
It can be tough to keep up with the latest.
Readers who subscribe to my blog
will receive notifications through their
chosen blog-reader/feed that I've had
something to say on a fertility topic.

In Closing
I look forward to this new way of
communicating with you. I hope you'll find my
opinions informative and thought-provoking.
Let's see if we can close the information gap
and help others get an early handle on their
fertility related needs.
Sincerely,
Sonja B. Kristiansen, MD
